There are days when we feel less motivated to do work. Everyone has days like that. Usually, we procrastinate and end up doing nothing.

Sometimes, we also tend to think that feeling unproductive on certain days is harmful. It’s something perceived as not that good by ourselves.

Ideally, everyone wants to be productive every day.

Don’t run behind ‘idealistic’ goals:

Amongst us, nearly every one of us has some goals. We want to achieve these goals and feel satisfied when we see ourselves achieving something in this regard.

On a similar note, we feel down when we think we are not able to do anything…

‘You need to be productive to be successful.’

‘You can only do this if you can do X things in Y hours.’

‘You’d be able to achieve this if you can finish that in Z days.’

This what we have heard daily from ‘motivational’ speakers, ‘self-made’ entrepreneurs, ‘social-media’ influencers, and other ‘successful’ people.

I think this what has left most of us chasing an ideal state in our life, which most of us cannot do so.

As a human being, burnout, stress, and a ‘feeling to do nothing’ are real. It’s really important to consider these situations while planning anything.

Most of us have goals and these goals in life pave the way for us to succeed.

But having a constructive approach towards your goals is really important.

Everyone aspires to become a better version of themselves and strives to achieve this in their own way.

I have some goals in my life too. Although, I cannot brag about achieving most of it, what I learned after years about goals is that organizing life is really necessary if someone is serious about their goals.

Learn to win by embracing your failures…

You might have heard the term ‘failure’ from the people around you.

It’s attributed to defeat, losing, or similar meanings.

People think that if you fail, everything ends up. It’s a separate discussion. But what’s real is that people around you kind of want to ‘force’ that failure on you.

Let’s see how to deal with that situation:

Success is not the only option

The world doesn’t end with a defeat. There’s much more than that. There are other options too. Give yourself some space to explore other things as well.

This makes it easy to disintegrate, replace, or remove different parts without affecting the overall functionality of the applications and software systems.

Messaging is an important part of software systems. It’s a norm to send or receive messages in text and other formats to-and-fro your software system. This is where message brokers come into play.
